[0010] Step S5: Use the design diagrams of each functional module of the software to detail the design and implement the specific functions and logics of each functional module to ensure that the various functions of the three-axis control card are correctly and efficiently executed. The design diagrams of each functional module of the software include a parameter configuration module design diagram, a command editing module design diagram, a log management module design diagram, an alarm management module design diagram, a status management module design diagram, and an automatic operation module design diagram;

[0011] Step S6: Through the above steps, the comprehensive configuration, programming, and debugging of the three-axis control card are achieved to ensure that the three-axis control system can operate stably and accurately according to the predetermined requirements.

[0012] Preferably, the system architecture diagram further includes a computer, an operation controller, a power supply, a connector, a driver, a motor, and a laser, corresponding to the control logic of the software system, the execution actions of the hardware devices, and the acquisition and processing of status feedback respectively.

[0013] Preferably, the software architecture diagram adopts a hierarchical design, including an application layer, a motion card function layer, a motion control card driver layer, a PCI bus layer, and a motion control card layer, which are responsible for the interaction of the user interface, the implementation of control algorithms, and the driving and control of hardware devices respectively.

[0014] Preferably, the hardware structure diagram details the electrical connection and signal transmission methods between the computer, the motion control card, the driver, the linear motor, the laser, and the power head, including input / output interfaces, communication protocols, and signal levels. The computer has a PCI interface slot and installs a 32-bit Windows operating system. The motion control card selects the motion control card of Googol, and this card can control the laser, with the model: GE-400-SG-LASER-PCI.

[0015] Preferably, the software module structure diagram divides the software system into ten mutually independent and collaborative functional modules. Each module is responsible for implementing specific control functions or algorithms, facilitating the modular development and maintenance of the software. They are: parameter setting, command editing, log management, alarm management, status management, start / stop control, automatic operation, manual operation, zeroing of each axis, control of the laser and the power head, laser focusing. The motion control card library functions use the dynamic link library provided by Googol Company and communicate with the control card through the motion control card driver.

This helps users troubleshoot problems and track the platform status. The alarm management module monitors the platform status. When there is an error, it stops the machine, gives an alarm, and writes a log. The start-stop control module detects the system status, decides whether to execute the running instruction, and performs a status switch after executing the command. The automatic operation module sequentially executes the instructions in the command list and decides the execution process based on the execution results. The manual execution module executes a single instruction and can be used for debugging and positioning. It can be used to test the circular interpolation function. The manual operation module opens the control card, initializes the parameters of the motion control card and axis parameters, and completes the function of finding the origin for each axis. The laser and power head control module controls the laser to complete the filter function and controls the power head to complete the punching machine function. The laser focusing module automatically finds the laser focal length.

[0018] Preferably, the status management module in the software function module has a stop state, a zeroing state, a standby state, an alarm state, a running state, and a pause state. The stop state is the initial state after power-on. At this time, zeroing has not been completed, the position is unknown, and positioning operations cannot be performed. The zeroing state is after the zeroing command is called and before the motor has completed zeroing. At this time, some alarms can be ignored and some commands cannot be executed. The standby state is after the zeroing operation is completed. At this time, function operations can be performed. The alarm state is when an error is detected. The machine stops with an alarm, and the state is the alarm state until the error is eliminated. The running state is in the standby state. When performing manual or automatic operation, it is in the running state until the command is completed. The pause state is in the running state. When there is no error, pressing the stop button stops the motor.
